Come Celebrate or Protest the California Supreme Court decision on Prop 8
Part of a National Day of Action Demanding Universal Marriage Equality Now!
City Hall, Downtown Northampton
Tuesday, May 26th
7pm
Marriage is a civil right. Nationally the fight for same sex marriage is gaining ground. We must struggle to ensure that full legal, marriage rights for same sex couples spreads to all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and that the homophobic Defense of Marriage Act is repealed.
The California Supreme Court will announce its decision on Proposition 8, the proposition that in November de-legalized same sex marriage, Tuesday, May 26th. If it follows past practice, the court will make its announcement at about 10 AM Pacific Time (1 PM, Eastern / 12 noon Central).
Depending on what the court decides, we will either CELEBRATE OR PROTEST!

Depending on what the court decides, we will either CELEBRATE OR PROTEST!
We will PROTEST if:
-- The court upholds Prop 8, and invalidates the 18,000 same-sex marriage licenses that California already issued;
or,
-- The court upholds Prop 8, but upholds the 18,000 same-sex marriages already performed, which would be a cruel, but pyrrhic victory for equality.
We will CELEBRATE if:
-- The court rejects Proposition 8 and says that same-sex couples are entitled to the marriage rights that heterosexual couples already have.
So call, email, Facebook, Twitter your friends – NATIONAL DAY OF DECISION actions are TUESDAY NIGHT!
These actions are taking place nationwide in over 77 U.S. cities and 19 states plus the District of Columbia.
